U.S. energy major Chevron’s Technical Center has expanded the strategic cooperation with France-headquartered seismic interpretation solutions firm Eliis to advance subsurface characterization through technology.
The second phase expands the integration of Chevron’s artificial intelligence (AI) and modeling technologies into Eliis’s PaleoScan, a geoscientific interpretation platform. It follows the first stage of the duo’s collaboration announced less than a year ago .

According to Eliis, this is a significant step toward its ambition to enable a streamlined workflow from seismic data to 3D reservoir modeling by providing a clean set of faults ready to be integrated into a reservoir grid.
“Our first product from the Chevron Technical Center collaboration, AI FaultAssist, has been widely accepted by clients as outperforming other market tools for fault detection,” said Eliis’ Chief Operating Officer, Francois Lafferriere . “It was an essential first step, but with this new tool, we are now unlocking the full potential of AI with a complete, AI-driven Fault Modeling solution.”
Since fault modeling is described as one of the most time-consuming steps in standard modeling workflows, AI can minimize the need for manual extraction workflows and editing of individual faults and their relationships in various geological contexts.
Alongside new technologies, Chevron is keeping busy with its core business activities. Last week, its Cypriot subsidiary and its partners, BG Cyprus (Shell) and NewMed Energy, approved an updated development plan for the Aphrodite gas field development and production plan (DPP) offshore Cyprus.
Another affiliate of the U.S.-based giant, Chevron Mediterranean, informed its partners in the Leviathan field off the coast of Israel it expects to complete the works on a third subsea transmission pipeline project by the end of 2025. The project was previously put on hold because of the Israel-Gaza war.
